My guess is that the manga artist thought it was boring to have an all-black skirt, so she got a plaid one instead. *shrugs*

I'd prolly go with reading the novel first because it'll be a while before the movie reaches wherever, unless you're in Japan. I tend to view/read/watch/play source material first because it is the original.

i'd rather watch the movie first, personally. if i knew the plot before i watch it, it'd be boring, for me, that is. same way with how when i tried to read the novels after watching the anime. i don't pay much attention because i already know how things turned out.

Q: what is haruhi theater? geez, i asked this in the other forum but was completely ignored...

Side story featuring the SOS Brigade in a Fantasy RPG-like setting. There was a sequel that placed them in a sort of Star Trek-like setting, and ended with the "hint" that there'd be a Western setting if a third was made.

another question. what're taniguchi and kunikida's first name? since all the other classmates have first names... (do they? now i'm not even sure...)

P.S. why's haruhi in the older series if the movies' still showing?

The answer to your second question is because the movie cannot be seen around the world currently. The footage of Haruhi that can be seen easily is older than what is currently airing. From what I can tell, the only shows allowed in the Current Series are ones that are airing in Japan right now.

I want to be doublely sure that I don't violate any spoiler rules about the novels, so I'm tagging the first answer:

Spoiler:

We don't know their first names. It's been a little gag going through most of the series where the people who have full names are not "human" whereas those introduced like Mikuru Asahina have something unique about them. It's somewhat changed in the later novels, but that's been the general trend.

Interfaces are identical enough to humans to avoid detection under most forms of investigation. However, a situation in which a human has actually "investigated" that far has not come up.
